Description
What happens when Piedmont's sharpest red goes head-to-head with Puglia's most generous one?
Two young winemakers from two family estates. Same generation, same obsession: proving that Italian reds don't need decades in a cellar or a sommelier's permission to be taken seriously.
In this one-hour blind tasting, wines from Bersano, 10 estates in Nizza Monferrato, more châteaux than cantina, making wine since 1907, will face off against Primitivo from Puglia, the sun-soaked red that keeps surprising even the most seasoned palates.
No labels, no hints, no reverence. Just two regions, two grapes, and one question: can you tell North from South with your eyes closed?
One hour. Six wines. Zero mercy.
